She joins the firm from UBS after 12 years and also has multi-year stints at Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Global Markets shown on her BrokerCheck listing.
Her practice serves families, business owners and trade unions nationwide and she is joined by wealth associate Casey Mirabile and business development associate Lars Olson.
“Linsco provides support and efficiency that allow us to focus more directly on clients,” Mirabile said.

The firm includes over 40 staff members, among them CPAs, EAs and four equity partners.
“This partnership will enable us to tap into Dynasty’s technology and operational infrastructure,” said Greg Storen, the firm’s managing partner and CEO.
Dynasty Chief Growth Officer Tim Oden said the firm sees Storen Financial as well positioned for continued expansion.
